Frequently asked questions

How do I use the companion?+

Select the section and unit you are studying in Duolingo, choose a recommended video, and copy its LingoLingo code. Paste the code into the YouTube URL field in the LingoLingo app. Exercises will appear while you watch and will be tailored to that unit.

When should I use the companion?+

It works best just after you finish a Duolingo lesson, while the vocabulary and grammar are still fresh. You can also return to an earlier unit whenever you want extra practice or a review.

Which recommended video should I choose?+

Start with the highest-ranked suggestion, or pick the topic and length that interest you most. Every video listed for a unit is intended to reinforce something from that unit.

What does the LingoLingo video code do?+

The code identifies both the YouTube video and the Duolingo unit you selected. That context lets LingoLingo tailor the exercises you see while watching to the material you are learning.

Can I use a different YouTube video?+

Yes. LingoLingo can turn any YouTube video into a learning experience when you paste its URL into the app. The codes on this page add your selected unit context, so these recommendations provide more targeted practice.

Can I create my own unit-specific video code?+

Yes. Copy the code prefix for your chosen unit and add your own YouTube video ID at the end, in place of the recommended video ID. Keep the rest of the code unchanged. Because your video has not been matched to the unit, the relevance and quality of the resulting exercises may vary.

Do I watch the video here or in the LingoLingo app?+

You can open a recommendation on YouTube to preview it. To get interactive exercises while watching, copy its code and paste it into the YouTube URL field in the LingoLingo app.

I don't have time to watch a 30-minute video. What can I do?+

Activate the exercise-jump toggle in the video settings. LingoLingo will automatically move from one exercise to the next and skip the parts in between, while still playing a short segment before each exercise to give you context.

How are videos matched to a unit?+

Suggestions are automatically ranked by how well their topic, vocabulary, and language level match the unit. Automated recommendations are not always perfect, so choose another listed video if one does not feel useful to you.

Why does the same video appear in multiple units?+

One video can practise several learning objectives. It may be useful for the vocabulary in one unit and the grammar or listening skills in another, with exercises tailored to the unit you selected.

What if my unit has no videos yet?+

You can still paste any suitable YouTube URL directly into LingoLingo for general video-based exercises. The unit will remain on this page, and recommendations can be added when a strong match becomes available.

Is this an official Duolingo companion?+

No. This companion and its video recommendations are created independently by LingoLingo. LingoLingo is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Duolingo.
